Several ancient Greek texts provide accounts of people being poisoned by honey that texts suggest was made from the nectar of rhododendron or oleander plants. Honey made from such nectar can cause the effects the texts describe, but only if eaten fresh, since the honey loses its toxicity within a few weeks of being made. In Greece, rhododendrons and oleander bloom only in springtime, when they are the predominant sources of nectar.
Which of the following, if true, most strongly support the accounts of Greek texts?
There are no plants that Greece in ancient times that produce more nectar than rhododendrons or oleanders does.
In areas where neither rhododendrons nor oleanders grow, honey is never poisonous.
A beebive's honeycomb cannot have some sections that contain toxic honey and other sections that contain nontoxic honey.
The incidents of honey poisoning that are related in the ancient texts occurred in the springtime or in the early summer.
Whether the honey in a beehive is toxic depends solely on which plants were the source of that was used to make the honey.
我感觉这题的 “结论” 在第二句 这种花蜜制成的蜂蜜,必须在新鲜时食用,才可以产生文中描述的(中毒)结果。 第一句为前提1:古希腊文献记载人们因为蜂蜜中毒,文献提出这些蜂蜜是来自于杜鹃花和夹竹桃的花蜜。最后一句为前提2:杜鹃花和夹竹桃在春天开放,两者那时是花蜜的主要来源。而选项D又补充了一个明显的gap
